It would seem that there are no obstacles to expressing a feeling of gratitude for help, human support, a good deed done. However, very few people can claim the title of grateful today! Everyone turned into angry, callous and indifferent individuals, unable to pronounce the simple word "Thank you" after providing them with help or service.

I. Ilyin touched upon the topic of gratitude in his text, where he writes: "This is the answer ... of the heart to the ... good deed."

According to the author's firm conviction, such a human quality of character as the ability to be grateful is considered a response from love to love, joyful emotions to kindness, bright radiation to warmth, devotional service to gratitude that was bestowed on someone. Ilyin's position is to adhere to the truth that humanity needs to learn to be grateful, and on this feeling to build its spiritual life. The opinion of the author can be regarded as the most correct, because gratitude acts as an important quality of a person,

although, alas and ah, as it was written above, only a few are characterized by the ability to respond with good for good.

An example of when people are not able to show gratitude is contained in the legend about Danko, conveyed in the story “Old Woman Izergil” by Maxim Gorky. A young handsome guy named Danko volunteered to help save the tribe from certain death. For this he had to sacrifice his own life, and to rip the heart out of his chest in order to illuminate the path for the tribe's movement. Danko saved people, and he died. But those for whom the sacrifice was made rejoiced and rejoiced.

What kind of people are grateful? According to the text of I. Ilyin There is no doubt that humanity will find ways leading to renewal (USE in Russian)

There is no doubt that humanity will find ways leading to renewal, deepening and inspiring of its culture. But for this it must learn gratitude and build its spiritual life on it.

Humanity today does not value what is given to it; does not see his natural and spiritual wealth; does not extract from his inner world what is in it. It values \u200b\u200bnot internal strength of mind, but external power - technical and state. It wants not to create, create and improve, but to own, dispose of and enjoy. And that is why it is always not enough for it and everything is not enough: it always counts its "losses" and grumbles. It is obsessed with greed and envy and knows nothing about gratitude.

And so, each of us must first of all learn to be grateful.

As soon as we open our spiritual eye and take a closer look at life, we will see that every moment, as it were, tests us, whether we are ripe for gratitude and whether we know how to thank. And he who passes this test turns out to be a man of the future: he is called to create a new world and its culture, he already carries them in himself, he is a creative person; and the one who does not withstand this test is possessed by spiritual blindness and envy, he carries in himself the decay of a perishing culture, he is a man of an obsolete past. Here is the criterion of spirituality, here is the law and measure, which few people think about, but by which it is necessary to distinguish people.

As soon as a person opens his spiritual eye and perceives the universe around him - through this cruel crust of everyday life and familiar, familiar, dead vulgarity - so he will open a great many gifts that surround him from everywhere. Usually we take these gifts self-confidently and indifferently, as something self-evident, as our “existential minimum” due to us: it seems that all this is scattered in the world “like that, by the way,” “out of nowhere” and has no special meaning. We measure these gifts by the measure of our personal benefit, and we grumble, and we are indignant if something does not satisfy us or does not suit us ... We go through life as powerful and self-sufficient

(work on the text continues)

Sometimes a person's doubt puts an end to him, and often it does not depend on how smart he is.

Friends today are a little about one very serious topic, about our doubts. You yourself know very well what these thoughts are and what feeling they cause. It is clear that these are our thoughts that come to our minds when a situation arises in front of us that requires a decision from us, actions and which can cause anxiety in us, lead to indecision and somewhere even cause us to panic, and the main thing is they slow down our actions

If you look deeper, then on the one hand, these are kind of guardians. The thoughts that protect us from ourselves are directed towards the best choice and imply good intention.

On the other hand, they can not only literally slow down actions aimed at achieving goals, but also simply take possession of a person and make him worthless and miserable.

There would be many more successful people in the world if these doubting thoughts were not so strong and capable of causing various fears. It is especially offensive in those cases when a person, possessing a truly talented person, allows doubts and fears to take possession of himself and, instead of achieving great success, he remains uncommon and unhappy. Although in many cases, laziness or small ambitions of the person himself can contribute to this.

By the way, from big brains and constant thinking, problems can also arise. More often you need to remember golden mean and trust the subconscious more. Easier to say wisdom,like success is not always the lot of smart and very smart people.

And so, first, let's try to disassemblewhat are these thoughts of doubt, this will help us to treat them more correctly, to react adequately, to perceive them more calmly and to use them for our own good, and not to introduce ourselves into a state of uncertainty, inaction and stupor.

I'll give you a simple example... This is something like the actions of a computer, a rough comparison, but quite accurate, so it will be easier for you to perceive what I will write below.

You have downloaded a new program to your PC or want to update an old one. The program is loaded, now, in order to use it, you need to install it. A frame pops up, where your PC asks you, "Do you really want to install or update this program?" And you press either "YES" or "CANCEL" button.

Thoughts of doubt, this is also a kind of program that asks you again, only with the difference that our brain plays the role of a PC. And everything happens in the same way as in the case of a computer - automatically, without asking us whether we want this frame to pop up "YES", "CANCEL", or it would be better if this did not happen.

The whole point is in the first place. If this program was not inherent in nature within ourselves, thoughts of doubt would arise much less often. But doubts themselves are inherently intended for our good. But the nuance is that the more opportunities and forces we provide to this program, rely on it, the more we associate ourselves with it, the more actively it interferes in our life.

If we take into account that beliefs and attitudes are laid down (written down) to us from childhood, then we can imagine what kind of strength this or that program, belief and some principle (rule) can gain. Then everything goes on a knurled one, our actions almost entirely depend on these internal attitudes. You won't even be aware of it. Now imagine that you have always or almost always yielded to doubts, pressed the "CANCEL" button .... ??

There is still a lot going on here from how you treat to these thoughts of doubts, how do you perceive them, whether you consider them your enemies and how this thought of doubt that has come to mind evokes in you.

Feelings can be different, from fear and anxiety to indifference. Depending on the importance of the decision and your attitude to the situation, the state in which you are arriving and what is important, on your beliefs and attitude towards yourself.

Even the most difficult situation requiring a responsible and correct decision is perceived by different people in different ways. It will panic and make one inadequate, cheer up the other and force them to actively act, put the third into a temporary stupor and uncertainty, the fourth don't care, etc.

In general, everyone treats doubts in their own way, like any other situation in life and to themselves. And remember the phrase - "Treat yourself and life easier" these are the words of a wise man.

So you need to learn, to treat doubts correctly. So that they would simply perform their direct function, they were allies, not enemies. And they didn't block the road to your success.

And so, doubts give rise to such thoughts- "Can I?" , " Am I doing the right thing? ", "And if it doesn't work out?"thoughts of fear can follow them "What if I lose everything?", "And what will happen to me" etc. Isn't it a strong blow to us.

Such thoughts take away our strength, weaken us and put obstacles in the way of our goals. But it is not necessary that as we think it should or should not happen. To begin with, this is just an obstacle on the way to our desired action. And this obstacle makes you believe in the correctness of the chosen solution, sort of like asking us again - "Are you sure that it will be for your good?", if so, then press the "YES" button.

And here we will have three options for the development of actions.

In every case, especially in a big goal, there will always be a risk, this is normal. Do you want everything to be reliable? This does not happen in serious matters. Until you wait for such an opportunity, it may happen, you will not need it.

The best thing you can do is until you feel the situation, the moment when you not only understand something for yourself, but feel internally that it is yours and it is necessary. And start acting, and acting responsibly. Having chosen the path, do not look back at doubts and.

If you have decided something, you need to go to the end - but at the same time you need to take responsibility for what you are doing. What exactly a person does does not matter, but he must know why he is doing it, and act without doubts and regrets.

As I think about the effects of physical activity on cognitive abilities and how to improve them, I am reminded of these returns. The civilization that gave us such achievements as mobile communications and the Internet did us also a disservice, allowing us to sit on the fifth point all day. By studying and working, we cease to be physically active, like our ancestors. As a result, we lack movement.

Let's remember that our ancestors walked more than 19 kilometers a day. This means that throughout the history of evolution, the brain was supported by the body of an Olympian. They didn't sit for eight hours in class. We did not sit in offices for eight hours in a row. If we sat for eight hours in the middle of the Serengeti, then in eight minutes we would have turned into someone's lunch. We wouldn't have millions of years to adapt to a sedentary lifestyle. It turns out that we must return to the former. First of all, you need to stop inactivity. I’m sure that by diluting the eight-hour day at school and at work with physical activity, we will not become smarter - but it will make us normal.

Without a doubt, humanity is swept by an epidemic of overweight, but now I will not waste time discussing this social problem. The benefits of physical activity can be enumerated for a long time, since it affects all systems of the body and has a positive effect on the psyche. Exercise strengthens muscles and bones, for example: it increases endurance and improves balance, helps regulate appetite, changes the lipid profile of the blood, reduces the risk of more than ten types of cancer, strengthens the immune system and resists the negative effects of stress (see). By saturating the cardiovascular system, physical activity reduces the risk of heart disease, heart attacks, and diabetes. As far as the benefits for the intellect are concerned, physical activity is like a miraculous healing pill from the arsenal of modern medicine. There must be a way to apply these magical effects for practical purposes for study and work.

Break twice a day

In the pursuit of higher grades, more school districts are moving away from physical education and taking breaks. Given the impact of physical activity on cognitive performance, this approach makes no sense.

In the past, the Yancey model, and today a doctor, scientist and basketball player describes the results of real tests: “They extend the time of academic disciplines at the expense of physical education ... and they all believe that [physical education] does not affect the performance of academic tests by children ... [When] trained teachers introduced physical education, children showed the best success in languages, reading and basic tests. "

Avoiding exercise to get high marks on academic subjects (and we know that physical activity contributes to cognitive performance) is like trying to gain weight by fasting. What if schools included physical education in their daily class schedule, for example, twice a day? In one experiment, after examining the health status of participating children, subjects began aerobics for 20-30 minutes each morning and exercises to strengthen muscles for 20-30 minutes after lunch. All marked b aboutthe greatest effectiveness of such exercises when organizing training two or three times a day. Since progress is clear, it is likely that both b aboutbetter results. You can even revise your school uniform. What will the new outfit look like in this case? Just sportswear for every day.

Treadmills in classrooms and classrooms

Remember the experiment in which, when children did physical exercise, their brains worked better, and after they stopped exercising, the cognitive abilities of the subjects deteriorated rapidly? He led scientists to the idea that it is not the level of sports activity that is important, but the stability of the oxygen saturation of the brain - otherwise the effect of improving mental performance would not have decreased so quickly. The researchers conducted another experiment, and the results showed that supplemental oxygen caused the same cognitive improvement effect in healthy young adults.

They came up with an interesting idea for implementation in classrooms (don't worry, it's not about oxygen doping for the sake of high marks): what if during the lesson the children will not sit at their desks, but walk on treadmills? Students can listen to a math lesson or study English while walking 1-2 minutes per hour on the treadmills located next to the desk. Classroom treadmills would allow you to reap the benefits of enriching the brain with oxygen and reap the benefits of regular exercise. Will the use of such a methodology affect academic performance? Until brain scientists and educators start working together to produce a real, useful result, we will not know the answer.

The same idea could be translated into workplaces if companies install treadmills in offices and promote physical activity during their morning and afternoon breaks. It would be nice to hold meetings while employees are walking on the treadmill at three kilometers per hour. Will it improve your ability to solve problems? Will it have an impact on the ability to remember and creativity, as in laboratory experiments?

The idea of \u200b\u200bintroducing physical activity into your workday plan may seem strange, but it is not difficult to implement it. I put the treadmill in my office and now I fill the regular breaks not with a cup of coffee, but with exercise. I even came up with a design that allows me to mount my computer so that I can write emails while I exercise. It was difficult at first to adapt to such a mixed activity. It took me 15 minutes to get the hang of typing on my laptop while walking at three kilometers per hour.

I'm not alone in my ideas. Boeing, for example, is starting to include physical activity in its command training program. In the past, problem-solving teams worked late; now all the work must be completed in the course of the day, leaving time for exercise and sleep. More and more working groups are achieving their goals. The Boeing VP has installed a treadmill in his office and confirms that exercise helps clear your head and helps you focus. The company's management is considering the possibility of including physical education in the daily routine.

There are two good reasons for supporting such radical ideas. First, regular exercise can help reduce health care costs for employees. There is no doubt that reducing the risk of heart attack or Alzheimer's disease is a very humane task. And secondly, physical activity stimulates the cognitive abilities of employees. Healthy employees are able to mobilize their natural intelligence much better than sick employees. In companies that rely on creativity and intelligence for competitiveness, this mobilization equates to a strategic advantage. In a laboratory setting, regular exercise has led to improved problem-solving abilities, fluid intelligence, and even memory. Will it be as effective in the workflow? What exercises should you do and how often? This question is worth investigating.

What is true gratitude? How to distinguish it? It is this problem that Ivan Aleksandrovich Ilyin raises in this text.

Thinking about this question, the author draws our attention to the importance of a sense of gratitude, saying that it is “a criterion of spirituality, a law and measure, which few people think about, but by which it is necessary to distinguish people. "He also tells us that" the future of humanity belongs precisely to grateful hearts. "

According to the author, real gratitude is not just acceptance of another person's kind and noble deed. This is a sincere desire to respond to this act, to bring happiness, joy to another, to provide reciprocal assistance.

I cannot but agree with the opinion of Ivan Aleksandrovich Ilyin. Recognition of another's good deed is not yet gratitude, because embittered,
